Catalysis group researchers strike gold

New chemical transformations can be catalyzed with molecular gold compounds or gold nanoparticles. Researchers at the catalysis group have reported a simple and robust protocol for the synthesis of gold(III) compounds that are crucial for the development of these catalytic reactions. The synthesis utilizes heating in a microwave oven, and produces a number of new compounds, quickly and cleanly, in a one-step process.
